Hi Coach Alois & Jeff
Why do players like Mizutani, ZJK, Ma long,etc.... end with lifted elbow after serving?
Thank you very much and keep up your great work!!!!

Hi Michael,
This just adds to the deception of the serve. By plighting the elbow it gives the illusion of topspin even if the bat is moving downwards or sideways.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
